Four weeks have now passed since the crew change. So much has been accomplished and there is still so much to be done. The garden is marching ahead as planned. A small house has been constructed to cover our new water pump. A dangerous tree has been cleared away. And the list goes on….

This week has been one of great focus and spiritual growth. All preparations were made and a full moon sweat lodge was held on Thursday evening. The positive mindset created by such a powerful happening carried straight through the weekend. As Friday arrived, so did all the guests for the Aum Tala Fundraiser. Thanks to Ian Boccio and Karen Dorfman’s demonstrated experience everyone had a wonderful time. There was even time for everyone to pitch in on several projects to beautify the Hostel. We truly thank everyone that shows up and throws down the way this group did.

After such a busy week, the departure of some fantastic staff and three straight days of rain, a time of relative rest and refocus has come upon us. We are now looking ahead to upcoming projects and exciting workshops. Please stay tuned and let us know what you are feeling by making a call to see how we are or coming for a visit and bringing your skills, wisdom and truths our way. Namaste.

May the Forest Be With You
